What brand of materials did you settle on?

We spray a lot of primer through cheap HVLP gravity fed guns from the local princess auto  (like harbor freight in the US)   most of them are decent copies of some really nice guns. just get something with a quart cup on it as the smaller ones will generally have to small a tip to do a whole car efficiently. Most of these guns will lay out a pretty decent pattern if you spend a little time adjusting them. as long as it sprays even top and bottom   also get a good regulator for right at the gun and make sure your air lines are dry and free of oil.

And most importantly a respirator rated for organics.

Gotta go but let me know if you need more help
